1-Safety instructions
Before commissioning, study the instructions and follow the safety guidelines!
In this user guide we have marked with this symbol all hazards or
risks that operators are subject or exposed to.
Signs and security stickers attached to the spreader show you that it is
safe to use the machine: Respecting the instructions = safety
A. Normal use
The spreader is designed and manufactured for normal use as described in this
manual.
Four situations are thereby defined as: parking, loading, transporting and spreading
(Chapter 5).
All uses other than specified are considered non-compliant. However, a number of
predictable non-conform situations are discussed and specifically prohibited. The
manufacturer is not liable for resulting damages.
We must respect the rules of accident prevention and other legal safety
regulations, occupational medicine and the Highway Code.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from an unauthorised
modification of the machine.
B. General safety regulations and accident prevention.
a. Vehicle shutdown: Before
working on the machine, stop the
engine, release the hydraulic
pressure engage the brakes
(tractor and trailer) and remove the
ignition key.
b. Before starting the tractor
engine, ensure that the PTO is not
engaged, that all safety devices
are fitted and in good condition.
c. Never deregulate or
override safety devices. For
settings, care and maintenance,
follow the procedures described in
the manual (especially chapter 6/7)
d. It is strictly forbidden to go
under the vehicle when in
operation.
e. The use of the machine
remains the sole responsibility of
the driver. He must ensure the
absence of third parties in the
proximity during any manoeuvre.
f. Given the residual risk of
shock or damage to the spreading
device (AND its projection area)
and that it is technically impossible
to protect (at least in the work
phase), it is the responsibility of
the driver of the machine to ensure
the absence of a third party in this
area when the machine is in
motion.
g. The driver must be in
possession of all necessary means
to use the machine under optimum
conditions.

Steering axle :
The steering axle follows the vehicle and works from the movement caused by
the curves, it must be locked on the highway (at medium or high speed) and in
reverse.
The self-steering axle is a follower controlled by a cylinder located on the
drawbar of the vehicle, it is a closed hydraulic circuit with accumulators to
maintain pressure. It requires the installation of a clevis on the tractor. Note that
the self-steering Rolland axle can become a follower axle when a tractor is
without a clevis because locking cylinders of the follower axle have been
retained. The advantage of this system is that the driver does not need to
intervene when driving, neither forward nor in reverse.

Hydraulic headland kits:
Hydraulic headland kits are available as options on the frames C8, C11, C12, C22,
C13, C23 for the ROLLTWIN spreaders and C10 for the ROLLMAX spreaders.
These headland kits allow spreading at the edge of the plot. It is possible to have
headland kits on the left or on the right or one on each side.
Weighing :
It is possible to equip the ROLLTWIN and ROLLMAX spreaders with a weighing
system. Weight information is detected by sensors on the drawbar and the axle. The
data is then memorised in the weight conrol box per client or plot. In addition to the
weighing system the user can have a data processing software for managing
customers or plots (storage up to 65,000 weighings). Also optionally available is a
compact printer equipped with a battery rechargeable at the mains that can publish
tickets with weight totals, per customer or plot.

Vehicle coupling system :
The coupling may not exceed the speed of 32 km/h or 20 mph road speed. The
connection is provided by a standard ring (all types of couplings can be used with
hook, ring bolt or spoon coupling).
PROCEDURE
. Make sure that the tractor used can carry the nominal load of
the trailer.
. After coupling the trailer to the tractor, make sure the skid is
raised properly and in the resting position, securely locked.
.Check all lubrication points before the first use (see chapter
Maintenance)
Adjustable tractor coupling(automatic hook or pick-up coupling):
• Approach slowly in reverse, lower hitch to coincide with the ring.
• Once in place, raise the hitch (the ring will position itself).
• Lock the device.
• Raise the hydraulic or mechanical skid.
Fixed tractor coupling (ring bolt, autohitch, drawbar) :
Place the prop in position (ring above the ring bolt coupling or drawbar).
Approach to adjust coupling devices (tractor and machine): :
the ring bolt and lower the ring (it will position itself).
Pick up hitch
The drawbar
Manoeuver the tractor if necessary
Lock and raise the skid.
Connect all hydraulic hoses (pneumatic optional).
Connect the lights.
Tyres :
On commissioning the vehicle, it is imperative that the tyre pressures be
determined and adjusted according to the load on the tyres and the actual
conditions of use.

Brake system :
The spreaders are equipped with three brake systems, each one assuring a specific
function.
When parking, use the mechanical hand brake. During the transport it is the
hydraulic brake that is used. The third system is a safety device for in case the
coupling breaks (a cord between the hand brake and a fixed point on the tractor).
Connect the safety cord in case of breakage of the coupling that operates the
parking brake. Check at the start of every season, the tension of the cable
connecting to the brake rods.
PROCEDURE
. Any trailer with a GVWR more than 1.5 tons is obligatorily
equipped with the braking device. It must be coupled to the
tractor braking system.
Hydraulic braking system :
Install the red hose (4) on the pressure outlet "BRAKES" on the tractor.
Ensure the proper functioning of control and check connections for leaks. Brake
pressure: 100 to 130 bar.

Installation of the drive shaft :
PROCEDURE
. All drive shafts must be equipped with safety guards in good
condition.
. Deteriorated guards must be replaced immediately
. Do not forget to install guards and to restrain them with
chains.
. Never operate a PTO without the foreseen guards.
. Wearing loose clothing may be the cause of accidents.
.During the first use, it may be necessary to adjust the length of the drive
shaft. To do this :
Ensure the correct length of the drive shaft tubes.
Tube can be damaged if the turning circle is too severe
Interlock the tubes a minimum of 4500 mm.
On transmissions there are several types of security, safety shear bolt or torque
clutches cams. In case of a shear bolt, it should be replaced by a bolt of the same
type and same quality as the original. Replacement by a stronger bolt will damage
the vehicle.
N.B : for commissioning, operation and maintenance of the transmission
(primary and secondary), refer to the manufacturer's specific instruction
manuals provided with the machine.
